A Wagnerian Minute
See the Time-lapse Video of "The Flying Dutchman"
Load-In here.

It's the stuff of legend. Cursed to sail the seas forever unless he finds a woman who'll love him more than life itself, the Flying Dutchman meets the young Senta. Smitten already by the myth of the man, she falls headlong for the man himself. But when he suspects she's unfaithful and heads despairingly back to sea, she listens only to her heart and leaps into the arms of the sea... and the man.

And in that extraordinary moment of salvation, the two are swept up from the watery depths into the heavenly sky.

You'll be swept away too by music as wild and as powerful as the sea itself.

Sung in German with projected English translations.
